Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after installation can I use hot water?
For a tank water heater, you typically need to wait 30 to 60 minutes for the tank to heat fully from cold. Your plumber should have filled the tank before activating the heating element or gas burner -- running an electric element in a dry tank can destroy it instantly. Tankless water heaters deliver hot water almost immediately once installed. Your plumber should confirm the unit is fully operational and set to the correct temperature before leaving.
What questions should I ask a water heater company before hiring?
Before hiring any Hildale plumber, ask: Are you licensed and insured in Utah? Will you pull the required permit? What brands do you carry and why? Is this price the total installed cost, including haul-away and any required code upgrades like an expansion tank? And what warranty do you offer on labor? A reputable company answers all of these without hesitation.
What size water heater do home builders typically install?
Production builders typically install the minimum code-compliant water heater for the square footage -- often a 40 or 50-gallon gas unit for a 3 to 4 bedroom home. Builder-grade units are frequently entry-level models chosen for cost, not longevity or efficiency. They meet code but may not meet the actual hot water demand of a large family or homes with multiple bathrooms. Upgrading to a larger or more efficient unit before move-in (while access is still easy) is significantly cheaper than replacing it after the home is finished.
When is a water heater drain pan required in Utah?
Utah follows the International Plumbing Code, which requires a drain pan under any water heater installed in a location where a leak could cause property damage -- including any unit installed above a finished living space, in an attic, or indoors in a location without a floor drain. The pan must be connected to a drain or discharge pipe that terminates at a visible, safe location. Even where not strictly required by code, drain pans are a best practice and required by most water heater warranties for indoor installations.
